Daybreak

She eats at my heart like the sunlight on the ice
The winters chill is warmed
But the cracks appear, all the same
I stare into the rising glare
I see the crimson of the coming day
Shattered hopes in unity
I feel life’s little mutinies
Rebellions cast aside
Fearful of those who tried

Make me an offer that I cannot refuse
I broke my own heart
Callous
Dusty and rotten from misuse
Inside out my soul is black
Against the crimson I turn back
I walk the way I came
The only path that keeps me sane

Offer me a choice I couldn’t make myself
I’m trapped in fire
Dying
Tortured in a personal hell
Inside out my mind is ruin
Out against the ice so thin
I walk the way I came
The hope of falling keeps me sane




She makes me nervous as she rises
Tired, blackened to me she entices
I sit up and stare
Enraptured on the daylights glare
